An hour before the Halloween party began, Remy, Landon, Renee, and Emmitt were all gathered in Renee's room, putting on their costumes. Remy was just now seeing his for the first time.
"You have got to be kidding me. I'm not wearing that!"
"Hey, you're lucky I even gave you pants," Landon told him. "Abu doesn't wear pants! And besides, we're basically wearing the same thing."
"Except you gave me brown, fuzzy leggings with a tail."
"You could've been Jasmine's tiger! But you acted like you didn't care so now you're a monkey. And here we are." He grinned as he held out the costume to Remy.
Renee broke into the conversation, "If it makes you feel any better, I think you'll make a cute monkey."
"How is that supposed to make me feel better?" Remy asked, but smiled and took the costume from Landon anyway.
They all got changed, each person looking a little bit ridiculous. Emmitt's black suit was very tight, leaving almost nothing to the imagination. He also had fake nails glued on to look like claws. "Rawr," he said, lightly running his fingers down Remy's arm.
Laughing, he said, "I need all of you to stop saying 'rawr.' It is making me very uncomfortable."
"Oh, then I'll be sure to sneak it in sometime tonight," Renee said. "Rawr. Oops, I guess it was now."
"Terrible. All of you," he said, pulling on his weird little vest thing.
"You love us," Emmitt told him.
Remy smiled, "I do. But I also hate every last one of you."
"Aw, that's so sweet! I feel exactly the same." Landon said, putting a hand over his heart.
